Construction Defect Law in Aspen, Colorado
Ben Rose is your advocate in seeking justice when construction goes wrong.
When you invest in a home or building in Aspen—often a multi-million-dollar property—you expect it to be built with the highest level of care and craftsmanship. Unfortunately, construction defects can and do arise, leaving property owners in a precarious position. If you’ve experienced faulty construction, subpar materials, or design errors on your Aspen-area property, Ben Rose is ready to fight for you and help make things right.
Construction defects occur when builders, contractors, or developers fail to adhere to proper standards of workmanship and design. This can include:
What are Construction Defects?
Poor Workmanship: Sloppy or rushed construction, improper installation of roofing, stucco, flashing, or mechanical systems.
Design Errors: Architectural mistakes that fail to account for real-world conditions (e.g., Aspen’s mountainous terrain or expansive soils).
Faulty Materials: Using substandard materials that lead to water intrusion, mold, or structural failures.
Building Code Violations: Failing to follow local and state regulations, putting your safety and property value at risk.
Even seemingly “small” defects in Aspen can lead to massive repair bills—especially when a single property’s worth can run into the millions. Protecting your investment means taking swift, decisive legal action.
Why You Need to Take Action:
Protecting Your Rights
Construction defects aren’t just frustrating—they also undermine the trust you placed in developers and contractors. You have the right to hold them accountable for negligence and recover fair compensation for repairs and related damages.Preserving Property Value
In Aspen, a minor defect can quickly become a multi-million-dollar problem. Structural damage or water intrusion often lowers resale value and can require extensive (and expensive) repairs. Acting now helps preserve the long-term value of your investment.
3. Ensuring Safety & Peace of Mind
Cracks in foundations, poorly installed balconies or decks, and water leaks compromise not only your finances but also your personal safety. Putting a stop to these issues ensures the security of your home and family.
4. Deterring Future Misconduct
By standing up for your rights, you send a message to developers and insurers that substandard practices will not be tolerated, helping protect other property owners in the Aspen community from similar misconduct.
